Libya: Leader Says Force Against Tribal Leaders Isn’t Possible
– Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, head of the Transitional National Council, says he cannot use force against tribal leaders who are moving toward semiautonomy for their oil-rich eastern region. Mr. Abdel-Jalil, who made his comments to Al Jazeera, said the council did not have enough forces to confront the advocates of semiautonomy. He said he also did not have the firepower to deal with militias refusing to allow the army and the police to take over vital border crossings and airports. Mr. Abdel-Jalil’s remarks came a day after a gathering of major tribes announced unilateral plans to begin establishing their own semiautonomous government in the country’s eastern section. He blamed the poor performance of his council for leading to the self-rule declaration.
